More MT Plugins

We have installed the following plugins for Movable Type:

• Supplemental Category Tags — This plugin provides additional tags for Movable Type categories.

• Regex Plugin — This plugin allows you to define search and replace parameters for elements you produce from Movable Type templates.

• Compare Plugin — This Movable Type plugin implements a set of template tags for displaying a portion of a template conditionally, depending on the results of a comparison between values. The values compared can be literal strings or numbers, or they can be pieces of MT template code that the plugin will build and evaluate, using the result in the comparison.

MT Category plugins

We have installed the following category plugins for Movable Type:

• MTFilterCategories — Allows for easy filtering of category listings to include or exclude certain categories. Not for MTEntries containers.

• MTCatEntries — displays entries including or excluding categories you specify. In addition to allowing you to exclude categories, CatEntries correctly displays N entries when given a lastn="N" attribute.

• MTCategoryOfArchive — This plugin can be used in a Category Archive template to give you access to the archive's category tags.
